Small potatoes. Try to wrap your head around why Jack is a nickname for John, if you want a tough one.
The bottom line is: nicknames don't have to make a lot of sense. Bill/William, Bob/Robert, Margaret/Peggy; apparently a couple of letters in common is all it takes. Bonus points if they at least SOUND kind of alike, but that's not really required.
it originates around the civil war era, when captain James cook was called "Jim" by his drunken first mate accidentally, and the nick name has stuck since. it may have originated earlier when James buccanan the fourth was also called Jim by his mother.
As with many nicknames, it was the part of the name that was emphasized when speaking (the J and M sounds). However, the vowel sound now is different from the long A in James.

Well yes and no, depending on what you think. His actual name was James, but people called him, or nicknamed him, "Jim" or sometimes called him, "Jimmy." But no, he did not have a nickname nickname. Nothing like "Puppet boy" or something. It's just the name that most people know him by (Jim) is actually a nickname, not his real name (James.) Hope I helped.
